Cold Brook

A very well done, simply made film.

Cold Brook's obvious good intentions lend it a sweetness that cannot make up for insurmountable problems.

Ultimately, though, strong performances and a deep level of personal feeling can't keep "Cold Brook" from feeling scattered and slight.

Hard to pin down, but moving nonetheless.

A lovely small-scale story about two men reconnecting with themselves and their families.

"Cold Brook" is proof that solid character-driven films can be made on a small budget, and with maximum talent.

The deliberately paced film is slight but heartfelt, with endearing performances.

Are You Ready To Be Different: Part ghost tale, part Bartleby while at the same time a captivating slavery reparations fable, the film flirts with the supernatural even with its heart planted firmly in sobering class and race issues historically and now.

Cold Brook is an adult fairy tale that embraces its broad interpretations to remind its leading men about what truly matters most.

... Cold Brook succeeds in part by its fantastic cast, but mostly by its focus on simplicity. There're no grand fights or superfluous moments, just a tale of love that transcends time and mortal existence.
